Books with Maps Challenge

Are you a person who likes to know where you're heading? Books are a delicious escape and some provide a way to know just where the journey will take its reader... a map.

The Books with Maps Challenge invites you to help create a list of books with maps. The Four of Us headed into our minds to recall books and then to our shelves to help our memories... head into your mind and search the stacks for Books with Maps.

I know you must be tired of hearing about this book, but it just got better!

"Poison Study" by Maria SnyderMap located at the beginning of the book...http://www.fanpop.com/spots/poison-study/images/7927671/title/map-photo***This map is great because every time you start a journey in a new world it is wonderful to see where the character is and where they are going. Plus, as you move through the "Study" trilogy, the map expands, revealing more and more great places.

"Hood" by Stephen R. LawheadLocated behind the cover...(No image found online)The awesome thing about this map is that it should be semi familiar. The book does take place in historic England, but it might not be the story everyone is familiar with. :)

'The selected works of T. S. Spivet' Reif Larsen. This amazing novel has maps in the margins all the way through. They represent the thoughts and observations of the main character T.S. Spivet, a 12yo boy with a unique way of seeing the world.http://tsspivet.com/
